If you drove on a road covered entirely in black ice, unless you drove some ridiculously slow speed - like 5mph - the moment you attempted to make a turn you'd keep sliding forward and end up in a ditch on the side of the road.

All the snow tires, AWD and anti-lock brakes in the world are useless on ice. You can't reliably gain traction to control a regular passenger car.

If the pavement was shiny and it was cold some people will call that black ice.

I've seen the "thick sheets of glassy smooth ice on everything" tier of ice storm aftermath and gently caress that poo poo.

Per Matt Barrows, he's joining Washington's coaching staff.

Kinda surprised no one picked him up before now. He's a fine DL coach, just don't fire a good head coach and refuse to hire another good HC in order to promote him and everything will be cool.

I was gonna say not all ice is created equally. When you have the glassy smooth stuff it's chains or nothing.

The 1998 Ice Storm up in the Northeast was pure insanity. My suburbs north of Montreal were hit hard enough to lose power for anywhere from 1 to 7 days, but the south shore had some areas go without power for over a month.

The wiki page posted:

Millions were left in the dark for periods varying from days to several weeks, and in some instances, months. It led to 35 fatalities, a shutdown of activities in large cities like Montreal and Ottawa, and an unprecedented effort in reconstruction of the power grid. The ice storm led to the largest deployment of Canadian military personnel since the Korean War, with over 16,000 Canadian Forces personnel deployed, 12,000 in Quebec and 4,000 in Ontario at the height of the crisis.

Are studded tires a thing in the US?

In my native frozen wasteland they are the traditional winter tire, studless (traction) ones are good too but don't work as well on ice. The downside of studs is that they chew up the roads.

Never seen anything like those ice storm pictures though.

I lived in upstate New York (dad was stationed at Ft. Drum) when that hit, and even though I was 6 I still remember the literally three inch sheets of ice on every exposed surface for what felt like weeks. Ice storms are nasty poo poo.

Yeah but not all of us have two personal cars to choose from :v:

I've never bothered with snow tires or chains or whatever and that's having grown up in Michigan, but I won't begrudge anyone for using them. Ice and snow deserve the utmost respect when you're driving, the only time I ever hit another vehicle was on a particularly icy day (they just drove off)

I need a truck for work, but eventually found that I'd rather drive it than my car. I pretty much only drive the car for dates or visiting my parents who live in Raleigh, NC in their retirement

I think studs and chains are banned on the roads here in Minnesota. Chains certainly, I'm less sure on the studs.

They keep the roads pretty clear generally tho

I just looked up his imdb. Bad Boys for Life (Bad Boys 3) and Bad Boys 4 are theoretically both coming in the next 2 years.
